NESSLERODE PIE
Count KARL ROBERT von NESSELRODE (1780-1862) was Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs (1822-1856) and Chancellor (1845-1862). In honor of his negotiation of the Treaty of Paris in 1856 ending the Crimean War, his Chef, Monsieur Mouy, created Nesselrode pudding out of custard flavored with maraschino, chestnut purée and chopped candied fruits that had been macerated in Málaga wine.
Third Person ALS: "The Count of Nesselrode", 1p, 7½x6½. No place, 1843 July 21. In French, fully translated. To U.S. Minister to Russia Charles S. Todd. In full: "The Count of Nesselrode has the honor to return to Monsieur Colonel Todd the American newspaper which he had been good to send to him. With assurances of his most distinguished regard." Colonel CHARLES S. TODD, the U.S. Minister to Russia, was very popular with the people there.
